Abstract

Abstract A composite magnetic core assembly for a magnetic head comprises first and second substantially C-shaped portions which are symmetrically arranged with respect to each other. Each of the first and second C-shaped portions comprises a substantially L-shaped back core, a substantially oblique prism shaped head chip and at least one side plate which is made of nonmagnetic and electrically conductive material. The side plate is fixedly attached on one side of the head tip and a portion of one side of the back core for reinforcing the adhesive strength between the head tip and the back core.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
A composite magnetic core assembly for a magnetic head, comprising: (a) first and second back cores having a high magnetic permeability, each of said first and second back cores respectively having a substantially L-shaped portion which has first and second ends, each of said first and second ends having a substantially rectangular shape, said second ends of said first and second L-shaped portions abutting on each other; (b) first and second head tips made from wear resisting magnetic material, each of said first and second head tips having an oblique prism shape, one side of said first and second head tips being fixedly connected to said first ends of said first and second L-shaped portions respectively, a portion of said first head tip facing a portion of said second head tip to form a transducing gap; and (c) at least first and second side plates, said first side plate being fixedly attached to one side of said first head tip and to one side of said first back core, said second side plate being fixedly attached to one side of said second head tip and to one side of said second back core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 193 words
A composite magnetic core assembly for a magnetic head, comprising: (a) first and second back cores having a high magnetic permeability, each of said first and second back cores respectively having a substantially L-shaped portion which has first and second ends, each of said first and second ends having a substantially rectangular shape, said second ends of said first and second L-shaped portions abutting on each other; (b) first and second head tips made from wear resisting magnetic material, each of said first and second head tips having an oblique prism shape, one side of said first and second head tips being fixedly connected to said first ends of said first and second L-shaped portions respectively, a portion of said first head tip facing a portion of said second head tip to form a transducing gap; and (c) at least first and second side plates, said first side plate being fixedly attached to one side of said first head tip and to one side of said first back core, said second side plate being fixedly attached to one side of said second head tip and to one side of said second back core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first and second side plates are made from a nonmagnetic and electrically conductive material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 43 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the area of one side of each of said first and second side plates is more than three times the area of the junction between the head tip and the back core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said first and second side plates has a such that the side plate entirely covers one side surface of the head tip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said head tip and back core is sandwiched by two side plates.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 52 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said first and second side plates comprises a projection whose front edge portion has a predetermined angle with respect to the head tip, said projection being planed off after said composite magnetic core assembly is disposed on a holder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 18 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein said projection has substantially a pyramid shape.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 19 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein said projection has substantially a triangular prism shape.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 27 words
A composite magnetic core assembly as claimed in claim 6, wherein each of said first and second side plates comprises a recess at the front corner thereof.
